>It's quite clear that the lack of diverter/deluge was a misstep I don't agree. None of this, pad included, is production hardware. This test article was obsolete and on the verge of being scrapped (like the several before it) to make room for newer models. The pad itself (except the ring structure, which is fine) is temporary. The tank farm is temporary. The only infrastructure that really needed to be protected was the tower frame itself, which is fine. The overwhelming majority of commenters in here and that flagged article from the other day seemingly refuse to understand that almost everything involved in the test was temporary/planned to be scrapped. The "damage" wasn't mitigated *because it doesn't matter*.
